Assuming we're not on Lubuntu and needing to use Skype 4. Whatever the Ubuntu maintainers did to ALSA, removing pulseaudio the officially-recommended way introduces a 10 second latency into all Skype audio playback. (Without bothering any other app on the system) Thankfully, I found a link to the static build of Skype 2.2 beta that still worked since, when I filed a bug, I basically got dismissed with "Ubuntu's approach for removing PA is broken somehow". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
